TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to preparation of a metal-doped ferrosilicon catalyst for suspended bed hydrocracking and application of the catalyst in residue suspended bed hydrocracking, and belongs to the technical field of preparation of catalytic materials and energy.

BACKGROUND

At present, although a hydrogen source and other new energy sources have been increasingly developed, petroleum is still one of main energy sources in the present world. Due to the current situation that petroleum reserves are increasingly decreased, efficient conversion of the petroleum is particularly important. During processing of the petroleum, residual oil with large molecular weight and complex composition accounts for about 50%, so that the reuse of the residual oil has been widely concerned by researchers. Among existing conversion technologies of the residual oil, suspended bed hydrocracking process is regarded as a technology for efficient conversion of the residual oil with the highest application prospect due to the advantages of simple process, high adaptability of raw materials and high conversion rate. As the core of the technology for hydrogenation in a suspended bed, a catalyst greatly affects the reaction rate, the conversion rate, the yield of light oil and the consumption of hydrogen. Thus, the development and design of a catalyst with high activity, high selectivity, and low cost are of great importance for the development of the technology for hydrogenation in a suspended bed.

Currently, a catalyst for hydrocracking in a suspended bed mainly includes two types: a homogeneous catalyst and a heterogeneous catalyst. The homogeneous catalyst includes a water-soluble catalyst and an oil-soluble catalyst, and the heterogeneous catalyst mainly includes a solid powder catalyst. The homogeneous catalyst has good dispersion in the residual oil. However, the preliminary preparation process of the water-soluble catalyst is complex, and the cost of the oil-soluble catalyst is high, so that industrial application of such catalyst is limited. The solid powder catalyst mainly includes natural minerals in the early stage, is affected by impurities and origins, and has low repeatability, so that industrial production in a large scale is not facilitated. In the later stage, a supported catalyst is developed by supporting an active metal on a carrier material such as alumina, silica, and coke based on an impregnation method, and a hydrocracking reaction of the residual oil is carried out based on the advantages of an active site of the metal on the catalyst and the thermal stability of the carrier. However, the preparation process of such catalyst is relatively complex, and active components are unlikely to be dispersed uniformly.

According to CN105126899A, a preparation method of a molecular sieve supported catalyst for hydrogenation of inferior heavy oil in a suspended bed is disclosed. According to the catalyst, a Y-type molecular sieve is used as a carrier, and VIB and VIII family transition metals are supported for a hydrogenation reaction of the heavy oil in the suspended bed. The Y-type molecular sieve is synthesized with bauxite and diatomite as raw materials. Calculated based on metal oxides, the supported transition metals have a supporting amount of 15 wt %. In the scheme, the method has a complex preparation process, and since the composition of natural minerals is difficult to control, the consistency of the morphology and crystallinity of the prepared Y-type molecular sieve cannot be ensured, so that the obtained catalyst has low stability.

According to CN103877999A, a preparation method of a catalyst for hydrogenation of coal tar heavy oil is disclosed. According to the catalyst, pulverized coal is used as a carrier, and the carrier is mechanically mixed with ferric sulfide and ferric oxide. In addition, mineral powders or metal salt aqueous solutions of molybdenum, nickel, tungsten, and cobalt of different concentrations are added according to coal tar including different raw materials, and then subjected to wet pulverization, so that active components are uniformly dispersed on the surface of the pulverized coal carrier. In the scheme, the method has a complex preparation process, and the active components are added in two times, so that the time cost and the economic cost are high, and the prepared catalyst has low catalytic activity for hydrogenation of the heavy coal tar.

According to U.S. Pat. No. 6,139,723, a highly dispersed iron-based ionic liquid or liquid gel catalyst with ion modification and metal promotion for hydrogenation or a hydrocracking reaction of heavy oil is disclosed. The catalyst is obtained by subjecting a ferric sulfate or halotrichite solution to precipitation, followed by modification with a sulfate anion or one or more of cobalt, molybdenum, palladium, nickel, and tungsten. According to reaction results, it is shown that the catalyst has higher residual oil conversion rate in a reaction than an ordinary powdered iron-based catalyst. However, due to an uncontrollable preparation method, the catalyst has not been widely used in industry.

According to U.S. Ser. No. 10/195,588B1, an iron-molybdenum catalyst for hydrocracking in a suspended bed and a preparation method thereof are disclosed. The catalyst is used for converting a heavy hydrocarbon raw material into a light hydrocarbon product. Metals in the catalyst mainly include iron and molybdenum, and meanwhile, aluminum is used as a third catalytic component. The mass content of Mo in a reaction is about 500 ppm, the mass fraction of the iron is 5 times that of Mo, and the conversion rate of the heavy hydrocarbon is about 85%. The aluminum and the iron generally exist as iron and aluminum mineral particles. Due to the presence of the aluminum, the content of the molybdenum can be reduced. Since an adsorption site of a mesoporous phase is provided by the aluminum, metallic vanadium and nickel capable of poisoning the molybdenum as an active phase are adsorbed. Considering that the three metals are prepared by physical mixing, the distribution of active sites is not uniform, and the conversion rate of heavy oil is unstable.

Due to the advantages of high geological reserves, low cost and environmental friendliness, the metallic iron is an important research object for various researchers. At present, a supported catalyst is mainly used in most of upgrading reactions of heavy oil. In particular, molybdenum and other metals with high activity are used as an active phase. However, the cost of the molybdenum is relatively high. In order to reduce the preparation cost of the catalyst, iron with low activity is usually added by researchers. A bimetal is supported on a carrier such as alumina, silica, or activated carbon by using an impregnation method. However, the catalytic effect is not very good. The present disclosure provides a metal-doped ferrosilicon catalyst for hydrocracking in a suspended bed, which is prepared by using a simple and green process and cheap raw materials based on a co-precipitation method. The catalyst has a stable internal bond energy structure and a good effect of a hydrocracking reaction of residual oil in a suspended bed. The yield of gasoline and diesel oil is high, the yield of coke is low, and a good industrial application prospect is achieved.

In view of the above-mentioned defects of existing technologies for preparation of catalysts, an objective of the present disclosure is to provide a preparation method of a catalyst for residue suspended bed hydrocracking, which can effectively solve the problems of low conversion rates of raw materials, complex processes of traditional supporting methods, high preparation cost and high yield of coke.

In order to prove an application effect of a catalyst carrier of the present disclosure in residue suspended bed hydrocracking, properties of the catalysts in examples and the comparative example are evaluated in the present disclosure with vacuum residual oil as a reaction raw material (properties are as shown in Table 1). 40.0 g of the vacuum residual oil and 1.2 g of the catalysts in Examples 1-5 were added into a high-pressure reactor with a volume of 250 mL. A reaction was carried out at a pressure of 11 MPa and a temperature of 430° C. for 3 hours. After the reaction was completed, the pressure was relieved when the temperature was lowered to room temperature. Liquid oil was taken out, and weighed. A product was subjected to reduced pressure distillation by using a reduced pressure distillation device. Gasoline, diesel oil, wax oil, and unconverted residual oil were separated by using a boiling range cutting method. The yield of each part, the conversion rate of residual oil, the yield of gas, and the yield of coke were calculated. Experimental results are as shown in Table 2.

TABLE 1 Properties of vacuum residual oil Test result Analysis Item Density (20° C.), Kg/m³ 985.5 Viscosity (100° C.), cSt 84.7 Residual carbon value, wt. % 10.7 S, wt. % 3.1 Metal content, ppm Fe 11.9 Ni 46.2 V 111.6

TABLE 2 Distribution table of a product of a hydrocracking reaction of vacuum residual oil in a suspended bed Catalyst A B C D E F Conversion rate of 68.7 87.1 84.2 82.2 80.5 85.0 residual oil/% Yield of gasoline/wt % 17.4 23.9 21.0 17.7 17.1 22.1 Yield of diesel oil/wt % 31.0 36.4 32.6 32.9 29.5 34.3 Yield of wax oil/wt % 21.0 15.5 27.3 25.7 26.5 17.1 Yield of liquid/wt % 90.0 84.3 91.4 87.9 85.9 83.4 Yield of gas/wt % 9.1 13.7 7.5 11.8 13.0 14.2 Yield of coke/wt % 0.9 2.0 1.1 0.3 1.1 2.4 Total yield of gasoline 48.4 60.3 53.6 50.5 46.5 56.4 and diesel oil/wt %

From the data in Table 2, it can be seen that when the catalyst for residue suspended bed hydrocracking prepared by the method of the present disclosure is used, both the yield of liquid and the yield of gasoline and diesel oil are high. Through comparison of reaction results of the Ni-based ferrosilicon catalyst, the Zn-based ferrosilicon catalyst, the Co-based ferrosilicon catalyst, the Mn-based ferrosilicon catalyst, and the Cu-based ferrosilicon catalyst, it can be seen that when the Zn-based ferrosilicon catalyst is used, the yield of gasoline and diesel oil is the highest, which reaches 60.3 wt %. The conversion rate of residual oil reaches 87.1%. However, the yield of gas and the yield of coke are also relatively high, and are 13.7 wt % and 2.1 wt % respectively. When the Co-based ferrosilicon catalyst is used, the yield of liquid is the highest, which reaches 91.4 wt %. The yield of gasoline and diesel oil is also relatively high, which reaches 53.6 wt %. However, in the reaction of preparing the iron-zinc-silicon catalyst by directly supporting a ferric salt and a zinc salt on silica, the conversion rate is 85.0 wt %, the yield of gasoline and diesel oil is 56.4 wt %, both the yields are lower than those of the Zn-based ferrosilicon catalyst, and the yield of gas and coke is relatively high, which reaches 16.6 wt %, indicating that the directly supported bimetallic catalyst has a poorer effect of hydrocracking of heavy oil than the bimetallic catalyst prepared by the present disclosure. In addition, the five catalysts have a liquid yield of greater than 84 wt %, less coke is produced, and the yield of diesel oil is almost greater than 30 wt %. Therefore, from the above results, it can be seen that the metal-doped ferrosilicon catalyst for residue suspended bed hydrocracking in the present disclosure has high catalytic activity, low yield of gas and low yield of coke, and will have a good application prospect in residue suspended bed ahydrocracking reaction.
